Brock Lesnar Accused Of Doping Before UFC 200

Trending News: Brock Lesnar May Have Cheated His Way To Victory At UFC 200

Why Is This Important?

Because this kills the whole feel good comeback story we thought happened.

Long Story Short

Brock Lesnar's triumphant return was allegedly boosted by performance-enhancing drugs, according to the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency. Lesnar denies the charges.

Long Story

UFC 200 was the fairytale comeback story we'd all hoped for. After being out of the UFC for almost five years and going though health issues that almost cost him his life, Brock Lesnar returned on white horseback to save UFC 200, which lost headliners Jon Jones to doping and Conor McGregor for not being good at PR. But now that fairytale story has been thrown in a puddle and stomped on after charges from the USADA that Lesnar doped 11 days before his fight with Mark Hunt.

The UFC said Friday in a statement that Lesnar had been notified, and legal proceedings will get underway.

If charged, Lesnar will be suspended from the UFC for up two years — not that he was necessarily ever going to return. The suspension might affect his activity with the WWE, though, where he's still on contract and scheduled to fight at SummerSlam 2016 against Randy Orton on August 21.
